 Prof. Hubbard had a good audience at the M. B. church last Friday eve- hing, and gave, as he always does to Stafford audience, the fullest satisfaction. . The feeling that Stafford has not all the railroad advantages that the size of the. place and the business it gives entities it, is growing. It is talked in the counting room, on the street, and in every place where business men congregate. No doubt it finds less expression because improve ment is hoped for with the change of man. agement that is expected when the lease of the N. l.. N. road to the Central Vermont company expires. But the business men who are interested are in no mood to wait two years for accommodations to which they have felt themselves entitled for sev-' eral past years. They are compelled to make journeys by carriage which ought to be made by rail. They see other. roads endeavoring to build up local business and to promote the welfare of towns along their line from motives of self interest, and ask why IS not this the policy of the managers of our road It is bad policy for the N. L.l road to drive the business men of Stafford into striving to secure the building of Oth- or roads for their accommodation, and also into feeling of hostility to the now exist ing road. Yet this is what is being done.
